I have had my Serger for 30 years. I LOVE it, use it all the time. Use it to serge the ends of all my fabric before washing it. Use it for quilting when the fabric is kind of thin or frays more then others. It is a fabulious tool and I use it for lots of different things. If you also so clothes it is most valuable for knits. It is a wonderful time saver for finishing seams.
